This week the spotlight is on Mitsuozboi! (4/30/07)
Mitsuozboi (now 21) found his pheonix red 2003 Lancer oz rally while looking for a decent used eclipse. Needless to say he couldn’t find one. Later in 2003 he saw his future Lancer at a Mitsubishi dealership, test drove it, bought it brand new for $16,700 and the rest is history. His favorite car is a white Evolution IX and the CCX but he would “Go nuts” if he caught anyone messing with his Lancer.
As you can see he has mainly show mods but these show mods also serve a second purpose by contributing to performance by reducing weight, adding down force, and adding better control while at higher speeds.
Out of the $5,000 spent on his car so far his favorite mod was the Ksport pro control coilovers (that were just recently installed) and the only regret he has about those is he wishes he had bought them sooner. Unfortunately he was not satisfied with the NSC damper kit he bought because of quality issues and design.
While searching for parts on day, this Evolved Member came across Evolutionm and joined in 2005. His next mods are more than likely going to be upgraded rear sway bar/perches, some window tint then he is going to start building a turbo kit.
So far he does not have any complaints about his Lancer which averages 28 MPG and loves the fact that not many people mod them so this adds to the cars uniqueness. In Maine, he is one of only a couple of people who has a modded Lancer. The only thing he would change about his Lancer is the color which would be a stark white. As far as overall direction he is not trying to build a car that is going to kill everything out there but to build a car that is fun to drive and that is what counts.

Congrats B!!! Maybe I can join you with this thing after I get my car re-done. Gettin tint this week, you should follow suit! That thing will be nice when you get that tint poppin.
Thanks!
Out for the night. Hope to see more responses around 4 pm tomorrow.
Ben - Yah man. Tint is comin very soon. Im thinking a nice clean 35% all around will help finish the exterior off nicely. 50% F/B is the law here but I may be able to get away with 35%.
